ABSTRACT:

The goal of this PD is to provide educators with some excellent technology

tools that encourage 21st century skills and student learning. Through this
lesson, professionals will be exposed to multiple effective tools for the
classroom and have a chance to interact with the tools and collaborate with
each other. They will be given the opportunity to experience how their
students learn with creating their own presentation by reflecting on the
efficacy of the tools.
Tools to use are Prezi for presentation, Padlet for word wall reflection,
Popplet for creating concept maps, and Google Docs for collaboration.

STANDARDS

1. Focal Standard:
California Standard for the Teaching Profession:
1.4 Using a variety of instructional strategies, resources, and technologies
to meet students diverse learning needs

2. Measurable Objective(s):
Teachers will collaborate using new technology tools and create a
presentation using one of them to reflect and explain how they can use that
tool in their curriculum to promote student learning.

3. Assessment:
Formative: Teachers will watch the Prezi before the scheduled PD time and
post on the Padlet wall: What is one goal you have for you and your
students this year in terms of 21st century skills and student learning?
Formative: Teachers will also create concept maps, in groups, using Popplet
to organize thoughts on Student Learning.
Summative: A teacher reflection tool will created and administered at the
end of the professional development. This reflection will ask teachers to

think about how they will use the new technologies in their classroom to
promote student learning.
Formative: Padlet wall post and Popplet creation
Summative: Survey Monkey

FELLOWSHIP

1. 21st Century Skill(s):

ICT (Information, Communications and Technology) LITERACY/Apply
Technology Effectively
Use technology as a tool to research, organize, evaluate and
communicate information
Use digital technologies (computers, PDAs, media players, GPS, etc.),
communication/networking tools and social networks appropriately to
access, manage, integrate, evaluate and create information to successfully
function in a knowledge economy

2. 21st Century Skill(s) Application:

The skills will be practiced during the lesson, as the staff will be asked to
use technology tools to organize and communicate information. They will
provide examples of how to integrate these technologies into their
classroom in order to successfully promote student learning.

3. Fellowship Description:
SRI International Education Division has a Center for Technology in
Learning (CTL). Under this center is the Center for Innovative Research in
Cyberlearning (CIRCL). CIRCL focuses on current and future cyberlearning
projects that embed technology into the classroom and promote student
learning. During my Fellowship, I am researching these cyberlearning
projects and writing brief profiles about them. I am also interviewing
successful people in the cyberlearning community to understand their
perspective of the field. Through this Fellowship, we hope to bridge the gap
between researchers, innovators, and educators. I use Google Docs to

collaborate with other educators, the researchers, and developers of these

projects. I have been exposed to many different cyberlearning careers such
as researching, and developing effective cyberlearning projects.

4. Fellowship Connection to School/Classroom:

I plan to share my Fellowship with my staff first by having them reflect on
student learning and what it can look like. I will expose them to many
different technology tools that they can immediately take back to their
classrooms and use with their students. By sharing the experience of my
Fellowship including new and exciting cyberlearning projects I research, I
hope to inspire them to continue to work to embed technology into their
curriculum instead of just adding it in.

INSTRUCTION
1. Instructional Plan:
1. Flipped Classroom: Instruct teachers and staff to watch the provided
Prezi at home and post on the Padlet wall*. It is important to watch the
whole Prezi, although the last slides (Popplet and Google Docs) will be
completed together at the Professional Development (PD).
*PADLET NOTE: Please create your own Padlet Wall for your staff to post.

2. Introduction - Padlet Reflection: Begin the PD with the staff by
looking at the Padlet wall and their posts about learning. Quick discussion
on how Padlet can be used in their classrooms.
3. Application: Continue with Prezi by introducing Popplet and having
teachers get in groups of 2 or 3 to create a concept map about student
learning. After 10-15 minutes - share with the group! The sharing should
include 1) The different ways students can learn and how that translates to
the classroom practices and atmosphere. 2) The different materials and
technologies that could be used.

4. The next slide in the Prezi invites teachers to access a shared Google
Doc* This should be displayed for the whole group to see while each person
is accessing it from their own personal device. Demonstrate how anyone
(teachers and students) can collaborate in one document or presentation by
having everyone logged in to the document and writing their ideas.**
Lead a discussion of how students can use Google Docs in their classrooms.
*GOOGLE DOC NOTE: Please create your own shared Google Doc for your
staff to collaborate resources.
**GOOGLE DOC NOTE 2: It may be beneficial to go through the steps of
how to share a google doc. Here is a quick link for reference:

5. Assessment: Teachers will be sent a Survey Monkey survey for a
formative assessment one month after the Professional Development
lesson.* The survey includes questions like Did you use
Padlet/Popplet/Prezi/Google Docs in your classroom? How? If no, are
you planning on using Padlet/Popplet/Prezi/Google Docs? What help (or
other professional development) do you need in order to successfully
integrate good technology tools in your classroom?

*SURVEY MONKEY NOTE: Please create your own survey monkey for your
staff to receive personal data.
